Summary
This PR addresses multiple security issues in the scanner implementation and decoy pipeline.
Security fixes included
Removed command-injection paths in ARP resolution
system()/popen()calls with safe parsing of/proc/net/arp.Validated target IPv4 input
inet_pton-based validation for:--fileHardened
reallochandling in decoy write callbackImproved error handling in
init_decoy_ipscurl_easy_init, JSON parse result, and expected JSON fields.Validated CIDR prefix bounds

SHODAN_API_KEY).Impact
These changes reduce RCE risk from untrusted input, prevent memory-safety issues on allocation failures, and eliminate secret exposure in source code.
Notes
